What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Unlock The King is a chess-themed puzzle game where you manipulate pieces to clear a path for the King, with players praising it as a relaxing and enjoyable diversion that offers a fresh take on chess mechanics. However, common criticisms include that it's quite short (completable in 1-2 hours), not particularly challenging, requires understanding chess to avoid confusion, and some levels feel like filler. Players suggest picking it up on sale as a casual puzzle experience rather than a substantial game.
Alright. [i]Unlock The King[/i] is done and dusted. This is a pretty chill little puzzle game where you manipulate chess pieces to offer the King a clear path to the end of the level. I see Sokoban listed as one of the tags. I'd call that a loose interpretation of Sokoban. You aren't really pushing boxes anywhere, but the concept of the puzzles is the same. YMMV there. [b]I will note that you really should have an understanding of chess if you're going to play this game.[/b] If not, you're probably gonna feel lost trying to figure out how to move the various chess pieces. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3712384271 As far as the puzzles go, they scale challenges in increments of ten levels. Don't take this to mean it's a particularly challenging game, however. I only felt like maybe six of the puzzles really had me stumped for a few minutes. The rest is a mix of filler puzzles that introduce new elements, and some tougher puzzles where they offer a nominal challenge. Although the game does introduce new challenges every ten levels, they can be summed up as follows: puzzles where you simply need to move the chess pieces to open a path for the King to exit th…24 found this helpful
I love this game. It's a new way to play chess.
It's a great 2D ♥♥♥ 3D Puzzle Game. I had fun moving the chess pieces arpund for the King to find it's way to the Goal. I finished the Game in less than 90 minutes. (Don't validate with my time as I started this game twice many months back but lost progress 2-3 times around levels 30-40 each time; this time I completed it in a single sitting.) Had Fun with this mid level difficulty puzzle game.
This is a pleasant game. Not very challenging, and not very long (I finished it completely in an hour and a half). There's no counter to compare or improve how many moves you took for a puzzle, and the puzzles never get very deep, but they don't have to. It's a light and fun diversion. I picked up the series as a bundle, and I liked it enough that I'll probably play the next one at some point.
I like this one. Some levels feel fillers to make a round number in total. And since I beaten it in two evenings it is not too hard.
I played the first 15 levels. I did not find it compelling enough to continue.
